Acorn Classics had an eclectic mix of bikes on their stand.

Wow, what a weekend as crowds flock to the Stafford County Showground to experience everything that the 15th Classic and Motorcycle Mechanics Show had to offer.

Attendances were up on the days as classic motorcycle enthusiasts of all types enjoyed the good weather of mid-October and also proved that this area of classic motorcycling is the growth area.

There were special guests, action attractions, British, Japanese, American and European motorcycles all together in the massive Stafford show halls. That’s actually as it should be for though we all think our particular favourite marque is the best it does often pay to have a look round at what other people are restoring.

For instance, the difficulties experienced in the restoration of a pioneer or veteran British bike are remarkably similar to those that a restorer of foreign motorcycle. A bearing will wear out in the same way whether the dimensions are metric – as some Norton ones are – or in Imperial sizes as on say an American machine. Shafts, bores and piston rings all wear out and the pragmatic restorer will use any quality items to get up and running and they could all be found in the show halls.
